Peatross’ stepson
Special book donated to Raider Hall Museum
January 13, 2016
— On Nov. 6, 1942, the 2nd Marine Raider Battalion under Lt. Col. Evans Carlson embarked on what became known as the Long Patrol, a 29-day, 151-mile slog across the island of Guadalcanal in pursuit of Japanese forces. It was a successful mission, although 16 Raiders were killed, but according to Oscar Peatross, legendary Marine general Chesty Puller, who commanded the 1st battalion, 7th Marines on Guadalcanal, didn’t think Carlson would be able to pull it off.
